EXAMPLES OF HOW TO WRITE A SUMMARY - (PA, 12ºB)

It is extremely important that you try and summarise the main points of any article that you find on the internet. This helps you to remember the main points and you will also improve your written and oral skills in English - Try it next time!




“GREY’S ANATOMY” STAR JESSE WILLIAMS DELIVERED A POWERFUL SPEECH ON RACISM AT THE BET AWARDS LAST NIGHT.
He highlighted black men paper because he said they have been nurturing everyone before themselves. He talks about restructuring police function and black citizen function in order to reach an equal society where the aggressions towards black people decrease.
Then, he states the things that black people do, like earning money and won’t stop doing because they have the same rights as white.
“When we expended centuries praying with brands on our body, and now we pray to get payed for brands on our body?”
There has been no war black people haven’t been on the front lines, so he claims that this make them even more equal to white people.
“Freedom is somehow also conditional, freedom is always coming in a hereafter but we want it now”.
He criticise the huge record of black resistance, but he stand out how racist should record the pressure put towards them. In this point he also defend all the people that help in Black Lives Matter.
White people don’t realise how many things they have taken off from black citizens, such as: black gold, culture and oil.
“The thing is that just because we are magic, doesn’t mean we aren’t real”.
INSIDE A SOCIAL CLUB WHERE BLACK LIVES ALWAYS MATTER
By Will Sands
 “The norm at African-American social organizations of the time was to choose members based on skin tone, social class, religious identity or political affiliation, but Arch was always more diverse. There were doctors, lawyers and other professionals, members of a nascent African-American middle class. But there were also porters, longshoremen and labour organizers important to Baltimore’s union movement. This being said, membership was and still is limited to men only”.
In my opinion, this club is quite hypocrite because they are making themselves different and highlighting the inequality against woman. This makes them the same as the racist people that treat them different.
CAN SILICON VALLEY DO ANYTHING TO STOP POLICE VIOLANCE?
By Jenna Wortham.
“The technology world prides itself on being a catalyst for this kind of social movement”.
Twitter provoke the creation of a mural in New York that says: “one minute to reflect on gun violence”

4th of july many years ago: a group of teenagers were killed, this group included two African-American boys. An officer gun them.
